The King's War

2016 · 47 min

A sober, talk-heavy history lesson that asks you to follow the political maneuvering closely and rewards patience with quiet stakes.

Overview
Few know what happened, in fact, on August 23, 1944, and who were the main actors of change. Words like "coup", "war" and "communists" are used often in the same sentence, without knowing anything about the courage that a king nor 23 had when it was across Hitler's plan.
